Run the "Labels…” command from the Image>Overlay menu and it will be recorded. Here is example that was created using the recorder:

  run("Blobs (25K)");
  makeOval(44, 27, 89, 98);
  roiManager("Add");
  makeOval(128, 119, 99, 98);
  roiManager("Add");
  run("Labels...", "color=red font=24 show draw");
  roiManager("Show All with labels");

You can show the ROI Manager by pressing “t” (Edit>Selection>Add to Manager). This works when no images are open or the current image does not have an ROI. In a macro, use run("Add to Manager”).
